start process issue

Question

I am using VSTS 2008 + C# + .Net 3.5 to develop a console application. And I want to start an external process (an exe file) from my C# application, and I want current C# application to be blocked until the external process stops and I also want to get the return code of the external process.

Any ideas how to implement this? Appreciate if some sample codes.

Answer 1

using (var process = Process.Start("test.exe"))
{
    process.WaitForExit();
    var exitCode = process.ExitCode;
}
